What's On

Please Note...

Please note during our low season (November-March) there will only be limited pitches and facilities available. Facilities will be located at the front of the pub and consist of 2 toilet and shower cubicles, drinking water tap and small sink for plate washing.

Also as we only have grass pitches, when we have bad weather we may asked you to stay on our gravel track or hardstanding next to our barn to avoid issues getting on/off the pitches. In the event of particulary bad weather we ask that anyone arriving in a campervan bring provisions (e.g. matting or wood) for under their wheels to help with this.
